VIEWED from a democratic stand
point the ticket nominated at the
court house to-day is considered a
strong one and highly satisfactory to
the party as judged by the hearty en-
dorsement given it by the repre-
sentative democrats assembled at
the convention. Several OF the
nominees personally are strangers
to us. But they no doubt enjoy
the esteem and confidence of
their neighbors and the party organI-
cation, and it is taken for granted
that they are the most available and
popular in the democratic ranks.

other of the family.-Topeka Journal.

Mr.. Carlisle says, referring to the
Thoebe contest, that he certainly would
not accept a seat in the house if his
right to it could be sustained only by
relying upon a technicality;" and yet
he fatty declines to answer Thoebe's
charges for the reason, as he declares,
that even If it be true that certain
fraudulent votes were cast for him,
'they were not sufficient in number to
decide the election" Obviously, Mr..

PITTsBURG, April s. - Coal miner.
throughout the country are discussing the
formation of one gigantic organization by
the amalgamaiion of the National Fedora
ton of Miners and Miners National As
scmbly, Knights OF Labor. Heretofore
considerable jealousy has been manifested
between members of the two organizations
but lately officials have shown disposition
to agree upon plan for mutual benefit.
At recent meeting of the executive board
of the Federation of Miners. resolution
asking for conference with the executive
board of the Miners Assembly was adopted.
The plan Of feuderation is that the two
executive boards shall meet and devise
set of rules or laws for the government Of
mining affairs; these laws to provide for
representation from both open aid >ecret
branches Of the organization; no person TO
serve as officer unless he becomes mem
Der of the Knights of labor. 1t is under
stoon that The idea is To have the feudera-
ton still retain its organization with the.
understanding that all ia members shall
also be Knights of Labor. This viii also
likely bring all outside knights into the
federation. Union miners would then be
long to both organizations. 1t is likely
thai Knights of Labor members will agree
To the conference.

Mr.. Manning had never held an office of
any sort. He WAS known aS partisan
politician and political boss Mr.. Fair
child had made good record as attorney
general OF the state, but was only one of
msny bright young Lawyers of the second
rank. And yet the administration of the
treasury department by Mr. Manning is
ranked by large numbers Of persons with
that Of the ablest of his predecessors. and
Mr.. Falrchild's succession to the Office is
quite generally accepted as a proper filling
Of the vacancy.
l. not the teaching of these events that
the Imagination of the people often exalls
men at the expense Of the offices they are
to fill? Certain it is that many unknown
and uniried men in our history have been
made to seem great or have had their sc-
tual greatness discovered by the great Off
ces they were unexpectedly called upon to
ill. The practical lesson is that in a gov
eminent of laws. of tue people. by the peo
pie. for the people, the safety and welfare
of the country depends upon the wisdom
Of the statutes and the general intelligence
and virtue Of the people, and not upon any
particular party or persons. A democracy
is a self-sustaining and self-propelling gov
